Hello doctor! My baby was 1 month old, I had her go for an echocardiogram and was diagnosed by a doctor as having a 1/4 heart valve regurgitation. The doctor asked me, is my child's condition dangerous and can the regurgitation of the heart valve heal on its own? I look forward to hearing from a doctor. Thank you doctor!

Hello! A 1-month-old baby, after birth, was diagnosed with 1⁄4 heart valve regurgitation. But do not know specifically what valve your baby has? However, with such a degree of openness, it is entirely possible for the average person. This is called physiological valve prolapse and does not affect the baby's development.
If you are too worried, you can take your baby to a reputable medical facility or one of the hospitals and clinics of Vinmec Health System nationwide for an ultrasound and checkup after your baby is 1 year old. Please.
Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Looking forward to meeting you and your baby for more specific advice. Best regards!
